Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that the body is controlled by a flow of energy, referred to as qi, and pronounced "chee." According to ancient texts, qi travels through pathways in your body called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that interruptions with energy flow in these meridians are responsible for modern ailments.
Acupuncture improves your body's functions and helps boost its self-healing processes through anatomic site stimulation - usually called acupuncture points. To stimulate acupuncture points, professionals typically insert fine, sterile needles you're your skin. Most patients feel little-to-no discomfort as the needles are applied. Typically, needles are left in the skin anywhere from five to 30 minutes. After their session, patients often report an incredible feeling of relaxation.
While some practitioners still adhere to traditional acupuncture philosophies, modern acupuncturists take an integrative approach. Today, professional acupuncturists use the therapy to stimulate the body's natural healing and pain-fighting processes. When coupled with personalized chiropractic care and physical therapy, patients can find real relief from painful physical conditions.

With a systematic treatment plan, patients can find help for painful symptoms like:
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Mendham Borough, NJ, use several techniques to achieve overall patient wellbeing, from Cupping and Gua Sha to Needling and Facials.
Made popular by Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, most acupuncturists describe cupping as giving an inverse massage. Rather than using pressure to release tight muscles, acupuncture cups create a suction effect. The suction pulls on muscles and fascia to relieve tension and improve blood flow. Like a massage, cupping is very relaxing for patients. Most people describe it as enjoyable, although the suction cup markings may look painful to friends and family.
Acupuncture cups are made using various materials, including glass and plastic. Cupping applications also vary - some clinics go the traditional route with cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and fire. Other applications include manual placement with silicone suction points. Usually, patients receive one of two cupping styles. The first uses stationary cups, which remain for about 10 minutes. The second uses moving cups, supplemented with massage oil to let the cups glide over painful areas.
Also called "dry needling," chiropractors and acupuncturists often use this technique to reduce trigger points within soft tissues and muscles. In this application, acupuncturists use a sterile needle and insert it into the trigger point, which fosters a feeling of "release" that helps reduce muscle tension and pain while boosting mobility.
Trigger points are hypersensitive, irritable skeletal muscle areas formed in rigid bands of muscle fiber. Trigger points lead to neuromuscular dysfunction and manifest in painful symptoms, increased stress, and lower overall functionality. During an acupuncture session, these needles are applied to trigger points, which cause a twitch, essentially releasing and restoring proper muscle function.
Gua Sha is the practice of using tools to scrape the skin and apply pressure to painful areas of the face and body. A Gua Sha is a flat, hard tool, usually made of stone. Recently, Gua Sha has taken the skincare world by storm, but the technique has been providing relief for centuries. It is one of the oldest forms of Chinese medicine used to boost blood circulation and energy flow.
In traditional Chinese, Gua means to press or stroke, while Sha refers to redness. Gua Sha usually causes small red spots or bruises to form, which are also called microtrauma spots. When using Gua Sha on microtrauma areas, your body elicits a response that can help break up tough scar tissue. When paired with professional chiropractic care, Gua Sha can be quite effective, even for moderate injuries.

MENDHAM, NJ — Last week, the wait finally ended as the anticipated Dunkin' on Main Street opened its doors to the Mendham community after years of planning.
The coffee shop, which has been described as a "next-generation Dunkin' restaurant," was first approved for 25 East Main Street in December 2018, following initial public objections to the proposed drive-thru and commercial business.
However, this application was withdrawn before hearings could begin because of strong apparent opposition, notably from nearby neighbors. After that, the application changed its design by getting rid of the drive-through.
Since the acceptance, several locals have voiced worries about maintaining the borough's historic heritage on social media, arguing that the contemporary signs did not suit the neighborhood's culture.
The store, which opened last week, was designed to be historically consistent with the borough's standards, something that Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner and other residents said was very important to the community.
Along with the traditional architecture, the new Dunkin' shop found additional ways to honor the heritage of its location.
A framed historical narrative discussing the previous use of the site has been hung inside the building.
The plaque states that the 25 East Mendham site was once the home of Gabriel Saccone, who was a founding father of Mendham and settled there in 1868 after emigrating from Italy.
Saccone, who was a farmer, used the site to provide housing to fellow immigrants who ventured to Mendham to seek a better life in the United States. In the 1920s, a former tenant of the boarding house, Pietro Clementi, a native of Sicily, became the owner of the home and continued to operate it as a boarding house.
In the 1970s, the building became a bank and then, later, a French restaurant for more than two decades.
The property is currently home to Dunkin', one of the world's greatest international coffee and doughnut corporations, which was started in 1950 and now has over 13,200 locations in almost 40 countries.
"As Mayor, I am honored to welcome new businesses like Dunkin's. Dunkin's has so much they will be contributing to our community," Glassner previously told Patch.
The coffee and doughnut shop is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m.

MENDHAM, NJ — The Morris County Board of County Commissioners is adding their support to the preservation of two historic sites in Mendham Borough.
The board was asked earlier this week to approve $3.6 million in grants from the county's Preservation Trust Fund to help restore, preserve, and protect 23 historic sites in 15 towns throughout Morris County.
Among these were the Phoenix House and Scott Farm Barn, both in Mendham Borough.
Approximately 88 percent of the funding recommended by the Morris County Historic Preservation Trust Fund Review Board is directed toward construction grants for 17 of the projects.
These grants will pay for design and specification work for future construction on four sites, preservation planning for one, and research and development for another in order to submit a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
The borough applied for $214,029 in funding for the Phoenix House and $129,572 for the Scott Farm Barn.
The Phoenix House, built in 1820, is a Federal-style inn on the Washington Turnpike. In 1840, the portico was added, and in 1936, it was listed as a Historic District by the Historic American Buildings Survey. The property is currently used as the municipal building for the Borough of Mendham.
Scott Farm Barn, a banked English barn built in 1825, is a fine example of a 19th-century banked barn with a forebay. It is part of the individually listed Stephen Cary House property and was continuously farmed until the 1990s.
It is also known as the Cary Barn, officials said.
According to the commission, the recommended grant will help with barn rehabilitation, which is expected to cost $845,490 and will include structural upgrades and a front foundation wall.
"I want to commend the staff and all the volunteers. They do a phenomenal job evaluating these applications and making recommendations on how to invest our dollars. People often thank the Commissioners for the money, but it ultimately comes from the taxpayers, who always overwhelmingly support these programs and it’s fortunate that they do," Commissioner Stephen Shaw said.
Since 2003, when grants were first issued for protecting historic sites through Morris County's Preservation Trust Fund, Morris County has awarded 512 grants totaling nearly $46 million to assist in the preservation, protection, and restoration of 122 historical properties.

MENDHAM, NJ — This year, there will be some new faces in the classrooms at the two West Morris Regional High School District schools.
Class begins for all high school students in just a few weeks, with the first day set for Aug. 31, and to prepare, West Morris Central and West Morris Mendham welcomed new educators to the district this week at new staff orientation.
The new hires include two art teachers, two English teachers, two science teachers, three history teachers, a health/physical education teacher, and a shared technology teacher.
It was also announced earlier this summer that Matthew Moscatello will be replacing Kent Schilling, as the new non-supervisory coordinator of athletics and student activities for West Morris Central High School.
"We are very excited to welcome Matt Moscatello to West Morris Central as our new Coordinator of Athletics and Activities. Matt comes to us with a strong background in teaching and coaching at Jefferson High School," West Morris Central Principal Timothy Rymer told Patch.
Salvatore Lima is also taking over as Supervisor of Mathematics and Science. Lima previously worked as a Biology teacher at West Morris Mendham High School.
This week's orientation included an overview of the district's highly regarded International Baccalaureate Program, tips for engaging students successfully, training on district technology, and time with teacher mentors.
“We are fortunate in the West Morris Regional HS District to attract highly qualified applicants and this cohort exceeds that mark. The collective commitment to students and excellence our new colleagues have already demonstrated leaves me excited to witness their forthcoming contributions to our learning community,” Mendham High School Principal Steve Ryan said.
This year, a new Superintendent of Schools will be taking over the West Morris Regional High School District after the departure of Michael Ben-David this past year.
During the July 24 Board of Education meeting, Barbara Sargent, who’s been with the Parsippany Troy Hills school district since 2017, officially took over as superintendent for the upcoming year.
West Morris Regional serves students from Mendham Borough and Township, Chester Borough and Township, and Washington Township. According to state data, the district served approximately 2,300 students during the previous academic year.

MENDHAM, NJ — Last month, the Mendham Laundromat officially shuttered its doors, leaving some residents to wonder what new establishment would be joining the community.
The Mendham Laundromat, located at 84 East Main Street, shuttered and cleared out in August, much to the chagrin of community members who relied on the laundromat as a primary or secondary source of laundry.
With the Mendham Laundromat closed, the nearest self-service laundromats are now located in Flanders and Bernardsville.
Shortly after the closing was announced, a new sign was erected in the shop window, announcing the opening of a new neighborhood bookstore. According to the sign, Chapter One Books will be occupying the space in the coming months.
"Chapter One is a small, local bookstore. Our goal is to bring a cozy, neighborhood store where readers can browse for books and more," the bookstore's website states.
The bookstore is owned by Sophia Maoli, who was born and raised in Mendham.
As of Sept. 1, there has been no official announcement of an opening date for Chapter One.
According to the website, the bookstore will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
Residents expressed their enthusiasm for the new venture on social media. "This is Fantastic! Finally, a decent new store," one resident wrote on Facebook. " "Omgosh. This is AMAZING !!! I miss having a bookstore," another one wrote.
Chapter One will mark another new business joining the community, following the recent opening of Dunkin', which opened its doors at the end of August.
The coffee shop, which has been described as a "next-generation Dunkin' restaurant," was first approved for 25 East Main Street in December 2018, following initial public objections to the proposed drive-thru and commercial business.
However, following multiple planning board meetings, the store was constructed to be historically compatible with the borough's standards, which Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner and other locals felt was very significant to the neighborhood.
The coffee and doughnut shop is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m.

NJTPA Funding Supports Completion of Two Separate Projects
Morris County will receive $3 million in federal funds for recommended safety improvements which will include design considerations for a roundabout, a pedestrian-activated rapid flashing beacon and high-visibility crosswalks at five intersections within Mendham Township, Mendham Borough and Dover.
“These improvements will help to create a safer environment in an area frequented by people of all ages, particularly high school students, as well as those going to the local shopping center or the nearby Post Office,” said Morris County Commissioner Stephen H. Shaw, who serves as Morris County’s representative to the NJTPA Board.
The improvements, funded though the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA), will be completed as part of two separate projects:
“The South Morris Street corridor includes three intersections in need of safety improvements, all of which currently have only stop signs,” added Commissioner Shaw.
South Morris Street provides a direct connection with State Route 10 in Randolph and U.S. 46 and State Route 15 in Dover, and also connects to NJ TRANSIT’s downtown Dover Train Station, which provides service along the Morris & Essex and Montclair Boonton lines.
The projects, which are two of 19 safety improvements totaling $188.3 million across the NJTPA region, were approved by the NJTPA Board of Trustees at their March 13 meeting. The funding is for two programs: the Local Safety Program and the High Risk Rural Roads Program. These programs fund high-impact, cost-effective solutions to reduce crashes and improve safety for all travelers. More information on the programs and project factsheets is available on the NJTPA website. Funding approved for the programs doubled from the previous program cycle in 2020.
“The increases are the result of highly successful partnerships between the NJTPA and its member county and city governments to deliver vitally important projects on our local roads. This federal support helps free up local dollars, state aid and municipal aid for other priorities,” said Passaic County Commissioner John W. Bartlett, the current Chair of the NJTPA.
The NJTPA is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for 13 northern New Jersey counties. Under federal legislation, MPOs provide a forum where local officials, public transportation providers and state agency representatives can come together and cooperatively plan to meet the region’s current and future transportation needs. It establishes the region’s eligibility to receive federal tax dollars for transportation projects.
The NJTPA Board consists of one local elected official from each of the 13 counties in the region (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren), and the cities of Newark and Jersey City. The Board also includes a Governor’s Representative, the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the President & CEO of NJ TRANSIT, the Chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and a Citizens’ Representative appointed by the Governor.
Any inquiries regarding the NJTPA should be directed to NJTPA Communications and Public Affairs Director Mark Solof at phone number 973-639-8415. For Morris County media inquiries, please contact Communications Director Vincent Vitale by phone, 973-285-6015 or email, [email protected].
